Hi there, I was at the jewelry exhibition today. Well, I thought that I can find some good bargains, but sad to say most of the stones are really over-priced. For instance, Tan's quality spinels and chrysoberyl are asking for 2-3 times more! Its certainly much smaller scale in Singapore comparing to Hongkong show.
Anyway, I have always like carved coral roses and I happened to see this exhibitor from India who has these pretty coral earrings in yellow gold. They comes in red, orange and white. He told me that they are fully natural and the lowest part of the coral is white, middle part orange and the top is red. Can someone tell me how to differentiate a synthetic/dyed coral between a fully natural one? Anyway, here are some photos to share, they measure approx 1.5cm across. TIA!
